A PHILADELPHIA woman who claims she was groped by Donald Duck at Walt Disney World in Florida is suing the amusement park.

April Magolon of Upper Darby filed the suit against Disney in July, claiming negligence, battery and infliction of emotional distress. She is seeking more than $US50,000 in damages, according to legal papers posted on the Smoking Gun website today.

The alleged incident happened in May 2008, when Ms Magolon said she was approached by a Disney employee wearing a Donald Duck costume who grabbed her breast and then made “gestures” making a joke of the groping, myFOXphilly.com reported.

The suit also points to previous incidents at the park, including a 2004 incident when two people were assaulted by someone dressed as Tigger.
